Whist Drive and Dance
A whist drive and dance was held in the School on Friday, December 14, in aid of a children's treat. The attendance was small, no doubt owing to the very sharp frost.
The winners of prizes for whist were as follows:
Ladies - 1 Mrs R. Tott, 2 Mr F. Stoten (playing as lady);
Gents: 1 Mr E. Bruce, 2 Mr F. Stoten; booby, Miss N. Carter.
The prizes were presented by Miss F. Pigg. Fancy dress for the dance was optional, and prizes were offered for this. Miss F. Pigg and Miss P. Morris kindly judged the competitors.
The adult's prize was tken by Mrs Dommett, as Father Christmas, who caused much amusement.
The children's prizes were gained as follows: 1 Frances Cole (Ace of Hearts), 2 Joan Dommett (Early Victorian Lady), 3 Daisy Clayton (Knight).
A large iced cake was competed for, the winner being Mr Hudgell, of the Mavis Dance Band.
Excellent refreshments were served by members of the W.I. Committee, and the Mavis Dance Band played splendidly. A jolly evening ended with the National Anthem.
The teachers wish to thank all those who contributed in any way to the evening's enjoyment.
